British-American spaceflight firm Virgin Galactic based out of superpower nation United States is gearing up to test its spaceflight on the 11th of July. The Company has big plans to bring the facility of spaceflights. The company would compete with Jeff Bezos, who has a similar dream.
The Virgin Galactic is very special to the Telugu people across the world as Telugu-origin girl Sirisha Bandla will be playing a big role in the mission. The flight will run on a test basis and will carry the crew members.
The company is all set to test its spacecraft, marking its fourth test flight. The test flight will be launched from New Mexico on the 11th of this month. The company announced the same on its Twitter handle with a short video.
The 1: 41-minute long video shared on Twitter introduces the members of crew members, who will be part of the space travel. The team associated with the mission was named Unity 22.
"Join us July 11th for our first fully crewed rocket-powered test flight, and the beginning of a new space age. The countdown begins.#Unity22 http://virgingalactic.com. @RichardBranson," the company tweeted.
Dave Mackay and Micheal Masucci were picked as the Pilots to fly the vehicle, while Colin Bennett has been roped in for the role of lead operations engineer for the spacecraft.
Looking at the background of Sirisha, she was born in combined Andhra Pradesh and she was brought up in Houston. She always has a dream of going to space and this is the reason why she enrolled herself in the aeronautical-astronautical engineering course.
She had worked in the Commercial Spaceflight Federation (CSF)'s space policy department. Sirisha Bandla is exercising her duties in the department of government affairs and business development of the Virgin Galactic company.
